SKYWATCHER AUSTRALIA

It may seem silly but this was a night I’ll never forget. Got some good photos, but what I’ll remember is the good vibes and company. I tend to shoot alone at night. Honestly I think it’s because I feel more free being able to go where I want to, and at my own pace. No headlamps spilling into my shots. Etc. This year I’m just trying to enjoy my time more while out shooting, not getting locked behind the back of my camera and not getting annoyed or angry if “things don’t go my way.” It did use to be a problem I had, but I’m working on being more present and experiencing more of my surroundings. It was really nice spending a night with some cool dudes, thanks for the good memories guys 👌🏼🌌

He says:At the end of our suns life, it will shed its outer layers as it runs low on fuel to burn. Shortly after, it will collapse into hot white dwarf and the intense heat and radiation will ionize the expanding shell causing these beautiful, and mournful displays of colours and shapes.

This stars death shell has expanded up to 1.5 light years from the origin star still visible at the center. If this were our solar system, it would have swallowed all the planets and traveled over 2,000 times farther away than Pluto.⁠Equipment:⁠SkyWatcher 190mm MakNewt⁠SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro⁠ZWO ASI294MC Pro⁠ZWO 60mm Guidescope⁠ZWO ASI290MM Mini⁠IDAS D2 LPS Filter⁠⁠Capture Details:⁠375 x 45s @ 120 Gain & -10C⁠ ⁠50 x dark frames⁠1 superbias frame⁠Stacked & edited in Pixinsight⁠Final tweaks in Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop⁠
